some HTML help!

Hi, i'm having a rather stupid problem with html.

This is just the basic table for part of my layout..

<table width="700">
<tbody>

<tr>
<td width="200">Top Left</td>
<td width="500" rowspan="2">Main Content of the page</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td width="200">Bottom Left</td>
</tr?

</tbody>
</table>

Alright.. the thing is.. when the cell with the main content gets larger than the 2 left cells.. it begins to stretch them. Problem is, it stretches both, but i only want the bottom one to be stretched!

I can't for the life of me figure out wtf to do! I've done it before on another site, i just can't find it =\

So please, somebody! :P
